Electromagnetic Clock - wood, brass, glass, enamel - 1850-1900

Paul Garnier was one of the most important and most celebrated French watchmakers in the field of electric timepieces. His company led the way in the application of timekeeping for railways and electrical synchronization. In 1847 he obtained a patent “for a clock that spreads electrical impulses to an unlimited number of other clocks.” He first presented this patented system at the Paris World’s Fair in 1849, for which he received a gold medal. This clock is a so-called slave clock powered by a master clock or a pulse generator. The movement has been tested and will operate with a master clock or with a pulse generator.
